Chapter 423 Unfair

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Valeria was stunned. “How… how is this possible?”
“I thought it was impossible too! But I’m confirmed that he is your biological brother.”
Suddenly, Valeria had found out about her biological father and brother. She could not take this news, so she didn’t want to comment about it.
In the past, she had always wanted a sibling. Whenever she saw Richard doting on Abbie, she really wanted an older brother like him.
But how could it be Raymond? He was about the same age as William, so was he Natalie’s child that everyone thought had passed away?
How did he end up being Savannah’s son, though?
William knew that she had a lot of doubts now, so her mind had to be muddled. He hugged Valeria and said slowly, “Valeria, I don’t know the exact truth, but I guess that your mom’s child didn’t die, and Savannah was never pregnant at all. Therefore, she pretended that Raymond was the son that she had given birth to.”
“Urgh! How can she be so vicious and shameless?” Valeria was disgusted when she heard her name.
“That’s right, I never thought that she could be so ruthless! Don’t worry, I’ll uncover her true colours step by step.”
“Raymond is too pitiful!” She murmured.  At the very least, Natalie had been taking care of her well, so she had grown up without having a lot of worries.
On the other hand, Raymond never felt his mother’s love. Savannah, his enemy, had raised him, and even his father did not care about him. Thus, he was really pitiful.
Andrew sent Raymond back to B City with the help of William’s bodyguards. On the way back, Savannah called him.
After seeing the number on the screen, he ignored it. Now, he had already known that she was very suspicious.
He didn’t know why she would treat him like this. Thus, he was in a bad mood.
His father did not like him, and his mother was so vicious. This was the first time he had felt so exhausted in his life.
Andrew knew that Raymond was feeling down, so he tried to persuade him. “Raymond, William said that he would handle everything well. Don’t worry too much. Have a good rest and wait for his message.”
Raymond sighed and said, “Argh! I just… think that I’m so useless! Why am I so stupid? I never knew anything! My uncle was in a much more difficult situation than I was, but he never gave up.”
“Everyone is different, so you shouldn’t compare yourself to others. After all, there are only a few people like him in this world.”
“Andrew, I want to find out the truth by myself to see why she would do this to me…”
“Nah, you’d better not make the situation worse. Savannah is so vicious, and she even colluded with my father. If you accidentally alert them, William’s plans would be ruined!”
Raymond knew that he was telling the truth, but he was not willing to give up. “So… should I wait here without doing anything?”
“He told you to not answer her calls. So you’re cutting all contact with Savannah. ”
Andrew patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t think about it. I’ll take you back to the hotel and have a good rest.”
Savannah and Charles were so anxious as they didn’t hear any news. At first, they just wanted to pretend that they didn’t know anything.
Savannah couldn’t sit any longer, and she suggested, “Charles, should I call the b*stard and ask about the situation?”
“I heard that a seriously injured person was rescued in the hospital, so it’s impossible for him to answer your phone now.”
“Didn’t he bring someone else with him? We might be able to know the situation if that person answers.”
He nodded and said, “Okay, try it then.”
Hence, Savannah immediately made the call, but no one picked it up. She did not give up and dialed the same number three times in a row, but still, no one answered her call.
She put down her phone sulkily. “Urgh! Why don’t we call Gavin instead?”
It was impossible for Gavin not to know that Valeria was dead and Raymond was seriously injured. However, Charles shook his head after hearing her suggestion and said, “No. Let’s get someone to see what he is doing.”
Savannah took Charles’ advice and assigned a spy to keep an eye on Gavin.
After that, the spy said that Gavin had stayed in the bungalow that he bought the whole day, and the latter had never gone out.
Savannah had no other way anymore. What was going on?
If something happened to Raymond, shouldn’t the police notify Gavin and Archer?
“Could it be that last night’s plan failed again?”
When she thought of this, an extortion message came to her phone. She was furious and then shouted, “Urgh! Charles, the extortion message is here again!”
“Is it Ashley? She hasn’t returned yet, so it could be her, right?” Charles frowned. “Hah! If it’s that b*tch, ignore it. Let’s see what tricks she can play.”
“What if it isn’t her?” Savannah asked worriedly.
“Hah! She probably did all these for money anyways. I’d like to see how much money she owns right now, and only then we’ll make a decision. Besides, why should we give her the money? That’s ridiculous! So we should ignore her message.”
Elizabeth had asked Mason to send this message to Savannah so that she would fall into the trap. However, she never received any news about Savannah.
Thus, she asked him to send the message again using another phone number, but there was no response.
She couldn’t sit still. “Ah! Mason, what’s wrong? Why would they ignore us?”
“Um… I don’t know.” Mason was also uncertain. Savannah and Charles had not made a move, so they had no evidence to use against them. Therefore, they couldn’t threaten Charles and Savannah.
While he was thinking about it, her phone rang. Her expression suddenly changed when she saw the message on the screen.
Archer was upset at Valeria’s attitude. Lamont knew this, but he could only persuade him. “Sir, she will figure it out. It’s natural for her to feel awkward now. She will definitely change her mind once she realized that you’ve been doing all this for her own good.
Archer shook his head. “Urgh… I’m not so optimistic. If I want to get her back, I can’t make her break up with William. But they are from the same seniority… I wouldn’t have stopped her if that b*tch never gave birth to Raymond. But now, what else can I do?”
Archer became more depressed when Raymond was mentioned. After that, he received a phone call from Gavin. “I have found the address of Raymond’s vicious nanny. She is now in B City.”
